Continuing Class Presented by Hannah:

Writing for Children:

The Ins and Outs, Ups and Downs, and All that Stuff In Between
This continuing class will equip participants in what they need to know to write for kids, specifically in the board book and picture book genres. Topics will include fine-tuning your manuscript to fit industry standards, writing prose that sings and poetry that doesn't stink, delivering your message without preaching, creating characters kids and adults love, writing hopeful endings, and, most importantly, trusting God with His plans for our writing.

After Hours Workshop Presented by Hannah:

I’ve Written a Children’s Book...Now What?

This workshop will give new writers an overview of the process of taking a completed manuscript on to publication. We will discuss querying, work-for-hire vs. traditional publishing, resources for writers (such as SCBWI and the Writer’s Market Guide), the millions of dollars you probably won’t make, and what really happens after you get published.

In this interview with best-selling children’s author Hannah Hall, find out how to “write to one,” which books make her top reading lists, and learn how a writers conference can really be a life-changing event.
